Google Glass will appear on the consumer market no earlier than next year (+ audio recording of an interview with Eric Schmidt)

Despite the fact that many hundreds, if not thousands, of Google Glass for Developers have already spread around the world, consumer devices will not be available until next year. Despite this, Google Glass has already begun to ban in some countries. Well, you know. Regarding consumer devices, information was obtained from Eric Schmidt during his interview with British radio host Martha Kearney (BBC Radio 4 station).

It is clear that a large number of questions were asked, and some of them dealt directly with the Google Glass mini-computer. When asked about when Google Glass will appear on the consumer market, Schmidt answered: “In the next few months, thousands of developers will get their devices, and based on their feedback, we will make a number of product changes, most likely this (meaning Glass to the market) will happen in a year. ”

From this conversation and some other data that hit the Web earlier, you can think that the consumer version of Google Glass will enter the market in the spring of next year.

It is worth noting another interesting view of Schmidt on the question of what he thinks about the problem of interference of the owners of points in the privacy of other people. Eric Schmidt replied that, in his opinion, new social etiquette should be developed. For example, you should not wear this device when recording video / audio, photographing is incorrect or not at all permissible at this particular moment.

Companies like Google are responsible for maintaining privacy, but the owner of the “glasses” also has his share of responsibility, such a person should understand what he does, how he does it, and behave accordingly. This is the opinion that Schmidt expressed during the interview.

Listen to the audio recording of the interview (the Google Glass part starts at 4 minutes, 28 seconds).
